Caring for All Women
Inclusive, respectful health care
At the Layo Centre, we acknowledge that the word woman is an evolving term and that sex is assigned at birth and gender is influenced by many different factors including social, environmental, gender identify and expression. We want our patients to know that the term woman used here at the Layo Centre refers to anyone who identifies as a woman, female or anyone with female parts.
